Debating moving to precise sights for my wvw build.
Standard 6/2/0/4/2 condition based.
Yes, I know that vulnerability works better with power but this trait would help teammates in the speed at which I could apply stacks of vulnerability to the enemy especially at range with grenades for an initial push.

In short, it replaces hair trigger or rifled barrels which seems to be a more than fair trade off.

Anyone else have experience with precise sights on a 3 kit (usually nade, e-gun, bomb or tool) build?

Precise Sights on a 3kit build is terrible because if you’re running Grenades then Steel Packed Powder will give you all the Vulnerability you’ll ever need as long as you can hit your skillshots.

If you’re running P/P then the loss of Hair trigger is more devastating than the loss of crit-proc Vulnerability. Same with Rifled Barrels, because it makes hitting things like Blunderbuss and Blowtorch significantly harder. If you’re running P/S then I guess it’s not too bad but then again, why run 2 in Firearms at all when you can run 4 in Tools for the Egun stunbreak reset at 25% health with a view to getting Power Wrench; or heck, even putting 6 in Alchemy so you can have the unholy trinity of Invig Speed, Prot Injection and Backpack Regenerator.
